The Integrity Commission is distancing itself from any possible leak of information from its office regarding documents yet to be tabled in Parliament.
This comes hours after Prime Minister Andrew Holness said he was concerned about the leaking of a report submitted by the Integrity Commission last Thursday for tabling.
The alleged contents of the yet to be tabled report were aired by a media house on Monday.
In detaching itself from the breach, the Integrity Commission said it had not divulged and will never, in any way, divulge information contrary to the requirements of the law.
The anti-corruption body said it is committed to transparency, Jamaica and the Rule of Law.
On September 5, the Integrity Commission submitted an Investigation Report, Ruling and Special Report to Parliament. That Report, Ruling and Special Report have not yet been tabled.
Days later, the Commission submitted an addendum to that Investigation Report.
It also indicated on Monday that it has submitted two other reports to Parliament for tabling.
Since the submissions, there have been extensive public commentary in relation to the purported contents, specifically of the Report and Ruling submitted on September 5.
The Commission is urging the public to await Parliament's tabling of all reports, inclusive of the report in question.
It said when the reports are tabled, it is hoped that they will be read and digested in their entirety.
The Integrity Commission is reminding the public, including media houses, that it is a breach of Section 53 (3) of the Integrity Commission Act to report or make any public statement on an untabled Investigation Report.
